I also used them with RedHat5.1. Their access number from Falls Church is 703 875 3920. They gave me the following DNS numbers: 199.45.32.37 and 151.196.0.37. They use PAP. If you haven't tried them, the dialers wvdial*, xisp* and kppp (this one is included in the KDE application suite) are all a snap to use with Linux. In FreeBSD, I used the scripts and instructions found in the FreeBSD Handbook. (Caveat: I wouldn't know a pppd or a dial-on-demand if I found one on the sidewalk, so simply followed directions.)
